Description
The SMS Notification addon sends automatic text messages at every stage of the booking process in BookingPress, covering reservation confirmation, appointment reminders, cancellation, rescheduling, and payment confirmation. The extension connects the system to dozens of pre-configured SMS gateways, allows you to customize the content of each message using dynamic placeholders, and sends messages to both customers and the administrator, keeping everyone informed in real time via mobile phone.
